A wind powered generator converts wind energy into electrical energy. Assume that the generator converts a fixed fraction of win

d energy intercepted by its blades into electrical energy. For wind speed v electric power will be proportional to

I'd go for b) v squared.
Wind is air in motion. So, it has kinetic energy. For a given mass of air at a certain speed, the kinetic energy would be (1/2)mv^2.
Since everything else in the chain seems to be proportional, then it's the v^2 bit that seems to be important. Hence the answer I post here.

The asteroid 2007 VK184 has one chance in 2940 of hitting the Earth between the years 2048 and 2057. The asteroid is 130 meters
N76 [4]

Answer:

 The average death rate for this type of event is closest to 350 people per event.

Explanation:

Between the years 2048 and 2057

Is 10 years. Since there is only one chance of event between these years, there is no point to consider it.

The total number of events = 2940 chances.

average death rate per event = total number of dead people divided by total number of events of occurrence.

1000000/2940 = 340.134

The average death rate for this type of event is therefore closest to 350 people per event

How does the thickness of wood affect its stability
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Making the lumber thick will make it stiff, which seems good. On the other hand, with thicker lumber, differences in expansion on the two faces have more leverage to make the lumber move.

In a photoelectric effect experiment, electrons emerge from a copper surface with a maximum kinetic energy of1.10eVwhen light sh
V125BC [204]

5.610^-26 m  is closest to the wavelength of the light.

E=K.E - Work function

hc/λ=1.10-4.65

hc/λ=3.50

λ=hc/3.50

λ=6.626×10 −34J⋅s×3×10^8

λ=5.610^-26 m

Because the relationship between wave frequency and wavelength is inverse, gamma rays have extremely short wavelengths that are only a fraction of the size of atoms, whereas other wavelengths can reach as far as the universe. Regardless of the medium they travel through, electromagnetic radiation's wavelengths are typically expressed in terms of the vacuum wavelength, even though this isn't always stated explicitly.

The wavelength of electromagnetic radiation affects its behavior. The speed of light is equal to wavelength times frequency. Frequency multiplied by the Planck constant equals energy. 1/wavelength is the wave number in cm. Along with the wavelengths of different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, a rough estimation of the wavelength size is displayed.

Answer the following. (a) What is the surface temperature of Betelgeuse, a red giant star in the constellation of Orion, which r
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

(a) T = 2987.6 k

(b) T = 19986.2 k

Explanation:

The temperature of a star in terms of peak wavelength can be given by Wein's Displacement Law, which is as follows:

T = \frac{0.2898\ x\ 10^{-2}\ m.k}{\lambda_{max}}

where,

T = Radiated surface temperature

\lambda_{max} = peak wavelength

(a)

here,

\lambda_{max} = 970 nm = 9.7 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

T = \frac{0.2898\ x\ 10^{-2}\ m.k}{9.7\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}

<u>T = 2987.6 k</u>

(b)

here,

\lambda_{max} = 145 nm = 1.45 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

T = \frac{0.2898\ x\ 10^{-2}\ m.k}{1.45\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}

<u>T = 19986.2 k</u>
